Aconcagua: Justman & Team Pack Up and Leave for the Dusty Trail

Hi folks, Well, it's time to say goodbye to Aconcagua Base Camp and hit the dusty trail back to Las Lenas. Given the grim outlook on this mountain for the next week, the team is rather excited to be able to get back home to you all just a little bit sooner. We're hoping that the promise of huge slabs of steak cooked over an open fire will motivate us along the 18 or so miles we have ahead of us today. Hopefully we can stay hydrated and blister free. You used to call us on our sat phone, RMI Guides Pepper Dee and JJ Justman

Hi Eric Leger & ACONCAGUA Team:  It was a nice experience following along on your journey through the blog.  Thank you so much. You have so much to be proud of in all that you were able to experience in your mind/body/spirit.  Wishing you all safe travels home.

Sorry the team didnt get to summit! I’m sure that wasn’t an easy pill to swallow for anyone. But like others have said, at least you have memories that I’m sure will last a lifetime. Have a safe trip the rest of the way down and a smooth trip home.
